World-Wide Presentation Connections

Since our Congregation's Founding in 1833, we have existed autonomously as the Congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of Newfoundland. We have also co-existed in collaborative relationship with Presentation Sisters around the world, with whom our common roots go back to the first foundation in Cork, Ireland, dating back to our origins in 1775 and our Foundress, Nano Nagle. These collaborative relationships have encompassed the following as together we have continued to keep connected on the level of Charism and Mission world-wide.
